Great room amenities - fridge, microwave oven, electric kettle, and TV. Also, it is in a good location, only about 15 to 20 minutes' walk from Grand Central Shopping Centre and not too far from Toowoomba Bus Station. It is also great value, and one of the best budget hotels I've stayed at in Toowoomba. I visit Toowoomba a few times a year to see family and friends, and I will definitely stay there again (glad I discovered it)!

Jewel of a motel

We stay at the Downs often as it is very convenient to the CBD, has plenty of parking inside & out, very obliging owner. It is great value & is one of the cleanest motels we have stayed in for its age. Comfy bed, excellent shower & the list goes on.
